(WHTM) -- On Monday, Penn State Health honored organ donors and recipients.
The health system's transplant team raised a flag to recognize National Donate a Life Month. The non-profit Donate Life American says more than 100,000 people are waiting for organ transplants.
Sophia Persofsky from Mechanicsburg was one of those 100,000 until her mom donated a kidney about two years ago.

"Just trying to donate whatever you can is really important because there's so many people in need, and just a small sacrifice can help so many people," said Persofsky.
"It was one of the easiest things I've ever done. I was back to myself in a few weeks. I don't feel any different," said Kelly Persofsky, Sophia's mother.
